How can I improve rolling/flipping on Savage X 4.6?

[marcobrien]

Once sway bar is installed, how much should the opposite suspension rise when the other side is fully compressed? Mine is only rising about 20% compared to the other. Wanted to make sure this is about right.. If it's not right, how do I adjust it?

Also, should I adjust the tension screws until it just bites (and stops the sway bar wiggling left/right)?

OK.. Took it for a test drive after installing aluminium big bore shocks & sway bar kit (stiff bar used front & back). Couple things I've noticed..

The truck easily flips over forward under heavy braking (the shocks are at the softest setting with the top dials unscrewed all the way). Wonder whether stiffer springs would help? Or maybe I've filled the shocks incorrectly?

Now I've got home, the sway bars aren't lifting the opposite side suspension under full compression (before I took it out, the opposite side was raising about 20%).

Any ideas?

Lower the ride hight and widen the width of the rig, with off set wheels or spacers. Install sway bar kit.

Will these Integy spacers fit the Savage X 4.6? Is that what you mean?

I had the same question, What is a "stirring" dumper?

Oh never mind, I think he meant Steering damper.

Isn't a stirring dumper a cement mixer?

I found after I changed the SF-20W servo to my throttle it only lasted about 30 minutes and it completley died. I had to throw the SF-10 back in get it back up and running.
